Lyrics:

She'll take the painting in the hallway The one she did in Jr. high And that old lamp up in the attic She'll need some light to study by She's had 18 years to get ready for this day She should be past the tears She cries some anyway Chorus Oh - letting go There's nothing in her way now Letting go There's room enough to fly And even though she spent her whole life waiting It's never easy letting go Mother sits down at the table So many things she'd like to do Spend more time out in the garden Now she can get those books read too She's had 18 years to get ready for this day She should be past the tears She cries some anyway Repeat chorus (twice)
